Volume 4 Dawning World Chapter 5 The Orc Army
After resting for a long time, the caravan set up camp again, and Embiid gloomily ordered the bodies of the two dedicated guards to be collected and taken on the road, and they were not buried on the spot.
After leaving the camp, there were only half-orcs and demon wolf corpses everywhere in the original location, except for digging out the demon wolf's demon core, Embiid and his party did not move these corpses again, let alone bury them on the spot.
"Aren't they afraid of a plague?" The three of them were secretly strange, but they didn't ask, maybe Embiid had a reason for doing this.
Not far after their convoy had gone far, the wolf riders who had fled had fled had come to the battlefield just now, and they had been around all the time and had not left.
Although the orcs ate all living things that could move, the wolf riders did not eat the corpses of their own kind, including the demon wolves, but dug a pit on the spot and buried them, while a sad song was heard from afar.
Seeing the three of them looking back curiously that year, Embiid explained: "We took the corpses of our comrades to avoid being used as food by them, but half-orcs don't eat their own kind, not even mounts, although half-orcs are primitive and savage, but they also have a trace of humanity!" ”
Embiid left after explaining, but he didn't know that the three had the Star Alliance Medal, and the medal's built-in translation function allowed the three of them to understand the song that year.
On a barren land, we strive to survive......
But the aliens occupy the fertile grasslands and treat us as pigs and dogs......
O people of the beast gods, they are unyielding and stubborn in their struggle......
But the clouds of the south, O devil, have turned us into ghosts......
Beast God, have you abandoned your most loyal people......
In order to survive, we can only go south, even if we bury our bones elsewhere!
……
There was a faint feeling of unbearability in Qingtong's eyes, and the resentment just now was gone.
That year, I also sighed in my heart, surviving in this world of natural selection, maybe every creature is not easy.
However, he also wondered, what is the devil described in the orc song? And how do you turn the brave and savage orcs into ghosts? What does this ghost mean? Zombies?
After driving for another half a day, that year's heart moved, and when he looked back, some black spots appeared in the distance, and those wolf riders actually caught up again!
The wolf riders did not dare to launch a surprise attack directly, but were far behind the caravan, they were waiting for the opportunity to move, and they would not give up until they achieved their goal!
But Embiid has always been cautious, and the fire is also blazing at night, taking shifts to rest.
In the middle of the night, under the warning of that year's long arrows, the wolf rider added two more wounded, tried it and retreated again.
The wolf rider didn't know that in the night, the eyesight of that year was better than theirs!
The next day, the dust was far in front of the caravan, and another group of cavalry rushed forward.
The people in the caravan were a little nervous, and after looking at it for a long time, Embiid laughed: "It's the earth knight of the dwarf brothers, we have arrived at the realm of the dwarves of Copper Mountain!" ”
That year, when they looked to the rear, the wolf cavalry that had been embellishing them all the time, and after the dwarven cavalry of the brigade appeared, they slowly retreated, and finally disappeared into the sky.
The dwarf is naturally the appearance of a dwarf, but from the film and television drama, he ran in front of the three of them alive.
But the Earth Knight rode not the earth, but the earth-type demonic beast pangolin, which made Li Muhao amazed and was very interested in this huge and flexible earth-type pangolin.
Of course, this huge is compared to ordinary pangolins, Li Muhao looked at the size of the dwarf, and then thought about his body, shook his head helplessly, and dispelled the idea of sitting on the earthen pangolin.
From afar, Embiid greeted the other side in dwarven language, and the earth knights also erupted in cheers, and it seemed that Embiid's caravan was very popular with the dwarves.
Guarded by the Earth Knights, the caravan finally arrived at the fortress of the Dwarves of Copper Mountain.
From a distance, the fortress of the dwarves of Copper Mountain is very low, although it is built on a mountain, the mountain is not steep, and even a little bare.
Seeing the puzzled look of that year, Embiid approached and explained: "Don't underestimate the dwarven fortress, although the fortress looks small, it is carved out of a whole boulder, and it is connected to the whole mountain, and this mountain has been hollowed out, but the inside is extremely huge, and there may even be giants inside!" ”
The mountain dwarves warmly received Embiid and his party, and they were even more enthusiastic about the wine Embiid unloaded, and at the same time, they were also very enthusiastic when they heard that the three of them saved Embiid and his party that year.
Among them, Li Muhao is the most popular, bold, strong, and powerful, all of which have a very good appetite for the dwarves, so at the welcome dinner, Li Muhao was poured a large amount of inferior barley wine, and Li Muhao was directly drunk.
The next day, the dwarves couldn't hide their love for Li Muhao, and even wanted to ask Li Muhao to help take care of a hill dwarf's child.
Li Muhao agreed, patted his chest and claimed: It's no problem to bring a few, he can let the child run and play on his strong arm!
The dwarf was very surprised, and then led Li Muhao over with a wicked smile on his face.
That year, when he heard that it was a hill dwarf, and seeing Li Muhao agreeing so happily, he hurriedly followed.
Finally seeing this little child, Li Muhao was dumbfounded!
This child is about 2.5 meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, while Li Muhao is less than the child's chin.
The child was so happy to see a man of his kind who was close to his height, and he stretched out his arms to hug him!
Before Li Muhao dodged, the dwarf child of the hill took Li Muhao into his arms, Li Muhao wanted to cry without tears and did not dare to struggle desperately, he turned his head to that year and asked: "Is this a dwarf?" ”
That year, he stepped forward and patted Li Muhao on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "You have to read more books in the future, even if it's a magic novel, people tell you that you are a hill dwarf!" ”
Mountain dwarves and hill dwarves are close relatives, mountain dwarves are generally about one meter two or three, but their cousins, hill dwarves, are generally around three meters five!
After saying that year, he turned around and left, this was a good opportunity for Li Muhao to show his kindness, and it was better for him not to get involved.
Li Muhao turned around with difficulty in the child's arms and muttered, "Are the hill dwarves different from the mountain dwarves?" He suddenly wanted to scold his mother.
In the afternoon, the three of them had planned to leave immediately, but the caravan still needed to be loaded with a batch of weapons made by the dwarves, and it had to leave the next day, so the three of them discussed it that year, and prepared to delay their departure until tomorrow, and then escort the caravan for a ride, and then leave the caravan on the other side of the wasteland.
At this time, the dwarves told Embiid about the current changes in the wasteland, the recent increase in the number of orcs roaming the wilderness, and even the appearance of rare ogres, so the dwarves decided to send some earth knights to escort the caravan away until the caravan left the wasteland.
The three of them were relieved that year, and the three immediately resigned to Embiid and the dwarves, and in the face of Embiid and the dwarves' worries, the three sincerely expressed their gratitude, but insisted on going on their own.
Eventually, at the insistence of the trio, the trio were able to leave the dwarven fortress and set foot on the wasteland.
Along the way, Li Muhao was eager to try, looking left and right, but there was no half-orc figure, Li Muhao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that there are ogres?" How can there be? ”
The ogre is tall and strong, and likes to use maces, which makes Li Muhao very unhappy, and the ogre likes to eat humans but is secondary, and some people once said that Li Muhao's resemblance to an ogre is the fundamental reason why Li Muhao hates these guys.
At that time, he was secretly a little worried, and those who had mounts on the wasteland often had great convenience, and the three of them could only walk on foot, and if they encountered a large number of enemies, they might be difficult to get rid of.
In that year, we could only increase the perception of the magnetic field and strive to detect the enemy as soon as possible.
This increase was a great discovery, and that year he suddenly stopped and looked to the side, and behind the hills in the distance, there was indeed a large area of dust.
Li Muhao asked in surprise: "What did you find?" Ogre? ”
That year, he had a solemn face: "It's much more dangerous than this, a large group of people, I'm afraid there are thousands of people, in my perception is a large part, and a few of them have very strong vitality!" ”
Li Muhao and Qingtong are also dignified, thousands of people? This is definitely not an ogre, not to mention whether there are so many ogres among the orcs, and even if there are, it is impossible for the ogres to all gather in the human area south of the misty swamp.
Qingtong asked, "Will it be a human army?" ”
That year shook his head: "No, the life magnetic field is full of rage and chaos, it must be a creature in the chaos camp, looking at this number, the most likely is the army of half-orcs!" ”
Qingtong and Li Muhao were stunned, and Li Muhao blurted out: "Impossible! ”
That year, he quietly sensed for a moment, turned to the two companions and said, "I'm afraid we have to run back to the dwarf tribe, see that the direction of this army is going towards the dwarves of Copper Mountain, we must inform them!" ”
The dwarves of the copper mountain once again saw the three of them running panting and sweating profusely, and before the dwarves expressed their surprise, they shouted: "Enemy attack!" An army is coming at you! ”
Several Earth Knights hurried out in the direction that year had pointed, the scouts of the Dwarves of the Copper Mountain.
Embiid accompanied the dwarven leader to the trio, and Embiid asked that year, "Are you sure it's an army, not a squad of orcs?" ”
That year nodded: "I'm sure there are thousands, maybe thousands, it's too far to see what race it is, but it's definitely from the chaos camp!" ”
When the dwarven leader heard that it was a race of the chaotic camp, and there were thousands of them, with a wave of his hand, many dwarven warriors came out from under the ground, and at the same time, a large number of trebuchets and ballistas were also moved out one by one and set up in various positions of the fortress.
The dwarves had a surprising trust in the three of them that year, and they were already in good hands.
Moments later, the Earth Knight scout hurried back, and the back of one of the pangolins was empty!
The news brought back by the Earth Knight confirmed that the words of that year were indeed the orc army, in addition to a large number of big-eared monsters and bear goblins, there were also some orc commanders and more than a dozen ogres, among which there were even a few vampires involved.
The dwarf leader and Embiid looked at each other, although vampires and half-orcs were classified as chaotic races by humans, they didn't think so of each other, they were never comrades-in-arms, let alone partners, vampires were not even interested in drinking half-orc blood, in their opinion, the blood of half-orcs exuded a strong stench, and they only disliked and disgusted half-orcs.
When did the pretentious, noble vampire get mixed up with the dirty, lowly orcs?
The Earth Knight's observations were certainly correct, and the number of enemies was as high as two thousand!
In order to determine the exact number of enemies, an Earth Knight gave his life, which is the duty of the scouts, and the fate of most of them!
The dwarven leader's expression became more solemn, and he waved his hand again, and more dwarves stepped into position.
This time, women, old people, and half-grown children came up, including the dwarf on the hill who used Li Muhao as a wet nurse.
In the Copper Mountain Dwarf Tribe, there are only more than 800 strong warriors, but almost all of them can become warriors!
More than 2,000 big-eared monsters, bear goblins, etc., are not to be feared, but vampires are involved, making the battle-hardened dwarf leader smell a hint of conspiracy.
